Tsunami 145 - compare 2017 to 2015/16

Advice

I am looking at getting a Tsunami 145 for my first Kayak. I am a larger guy at 6'2"/270 with a 42"-44" waist. I have used a 145 in my basic and intermediate lessons and am ready to purchase.

The Tsunami 145 cockpit fits me great!

I understand that the 2015 and 2016 are essentially the same model, but there may be some differences in the 2017 model.

My question is this: does anyone know the differences between the current 2017 Tsunami 145 model vs. the earlier 2015/2016 models? The specs appear to be the same.

Thank you for your time and advice.

Might not be any difference at all, other than delivery in 2017. Or maybe a different seat pad.



I think the manufacturer is your best bet.

Colors and footpegs

The footpegs will be changed to the Keepers XL pegs (larger surface area than the old style).

Sonar is a new color option. Lime and Galaxy are discontinued (in the Tsunami, at least).

That's pretty much it.
